Here's what it looks like (looks like!)
Being the best
What it looks like
To be a cut above the rest
Jump in the water, time to get a little wetter
'Cause anything that you can do, I can do it better
I'm never gonna rest if it's less than the gold
You can see me on the throne sharing medals with the bold.
I own, I've shown, I stay legit
Try to take me, there's no way I'm ever gonna quit
This is it.
I'm always on, ready for a battle
Doesn't matter if it's Beijing or back in Seattle
I'm amphibious, I live this, the world is my pool
While I'm backstroking chillin, you're just choking like a fool
Stay cool. Make a choice, you can swim or drown
I'll tell you right now, go against me,
You're going down!
Here's what it looks like (looks like!)
Being the best
What it looks like
To be a cut above the rest
Nothing is free, but see me, I don't flee
I'm the epitome of everything you're never gonna be
I earned my respect while you were clowning around
Now I'm royalty and everybody bows to the crown
Stay down!
I've been down since day one
I worked until my bones ached while others had fun
Now I'm known on the streets, they call me a smash hit
Ask around, what you know about me?
You don't quit!
I never back down, never stop, never pause
This is my ambition, my mission, my cause
No flaws. I get to see the thing you fear
Every single day when I look in the mirror
Here's what it looks like (looks like!)
Being the best
What it looks like
To be a cut above the rest
The crowd is so loud it sounds like a riot
Then suddenly it all stops and everything is quiet
I'm up on the platform, I'm ready to go
About to show the whole world so that everybody knows
Here's what it looks like (looks like!)
Being the best
What it looks like
To be a cut above the rest
